Sleep apnea is a common disorder that affects millions of people across the world. In fact, there are over 275,000 new cases reported in the US each year. Sleep apnea, of course, occurs when breathing suddenly stops during the night. However, breathing does resume and people simply get back to sleep. These intermittent breathing stoppages can be dangerous – and usually due to respiratory problems or obstructions in the airways. This can leave sufferers feeling lethargic and sluggish all day – even after a full eight hours of sleep. With this in mind, VirtuOX features a range of sleep apnea tests at home. These tests are designed to pinpoint and address all underlying causes of sleep apnea and related problems.
